Restrictions On Migration Create Gender Inequality: The Story Of China's Left-Behind Children, Xuwen Gao, Wenquan Liang, Ahmed Mushfiq Mobarak, Ran Song

Discussion Papers

About 11% of the Chinese population are rural-urban migrants, and the vast

majority of them (124 million people) possess a rural hukou which severely

restrict their children’s access to urban public schools. As a result, 61 million

children are left behind in rural areas. We use a regression-discontinuity

design based on school enrollment age cutoffs to document that migrants are

significantly more likely to leave middle-school-aged daughters behind in poor

rural areas without either parent present when schooling becomes expensive,

compared to middle-school-aged sons. The effect is larger when the daughter

has a male sibling. Migrant parents send significantly less …

Model-Based Determination Of The Synchronization Delay Between Mri And Trajectory Data., Paul Ioan Dubovan, Corey Allan Baron

Robarts Imaging Publications

PURPOSE: Real-time monitoring of dynamic magnetic fields has recently become a commercially available option for measuring MRI k-space trajectories and magnetic fields induced by eddy currents in real time. However, for accurate image reconstructions, sub-microsecond synchronization between the MRI data and field dynamics (ie, k-space trajectory plus other spatially varying fields) is required. In this work, we introduce a new model-based algorithm to automatically perform this synchronization using only the MRI data and field dynamics.

METHODS: The algorithm works by enforcing consistency among the MRI data, field dynamics, and receiver sensitivity profiles by iteratively alternating between convex optimizations for (a) …

Party System Institutionalization, Partisan Affect, And Satisfaction With Democracy, Hannah M. Ridge

Political Science Faculty Articles and Research

Citizens’ attitudes about the political parties in their countries have been linked to their overall satisfaction with their democracy, with those feeling great love (hate) for parties feeling more (less) satisfied with the democracy. Such strong positive and negative emotions require time and clear targets to form. This study demonstrates that the influence of interparty affect is greater where the party system has institutionalized. Where the public can be familiar with the parties, their positions, and their relative status in the party system, citizens’ attitudes toward the democracy are more informed by their feelings about the parties in the system. …

Systematic Review Brief: Virtual Interventions That Address Motor And Balance Impairments And Skills For Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury (Tbi) (12-21), Kitsum Li, Beth Fields, Adam Kinney, Olivia Condon, Emilio Villavicencio

Occupational Therapy | Faculty Scholarship

Systematic Review Briefs provide a summary of the findings from systematic reviews developed in conjunction with the American Occupational Therapy Association’s (AOTA’s) Evidence-Based Practice Program. Each Systematic Review Brief summarizes the evidence on a theme related to a systematic review topic. This Systematic Review Brief presents findings from the theme of virtual interventions that address motor and balance impairments and skills for adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

A Historical Overview Of Sigma Theta Tau National Honor Society Of Nursing, 1922-1979, Rebecca Ellen Thomas Markel

Dissertations

Sigma Theta Tau was founded in 1922 by six students at the Indiana University Training School for Nurses, Indianapolis, Indiana. The name was chosen using the initials of the Greek words, STORGA, THAROS, TIME, meaning Love, Courage, and Honor. Sigma Theta Tau was organized to encourage and recognize superior scholarship and leadership achievement at the undergraduate and graduate levels in nursing.

The problem of this study was to write a historical overview of Sigma Theta Tau and to develop guidelines for use by chapter historians in writing histories and maintaining archives. The primary concern of this study was the growth …

Implementation Of The Massachusetts Policy On Youth Sport-Related Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries: Perceptions Of Key Personnel At Massachusetts Public And Charter Schools, Gretchen A. Kilbourne

Dissertations

The major purpose of this cross-sectional, descriptive, and explanatory survey research was to assess key school personnel's perceptions of barriers to and facilitators of implementation of the Massachusetts (MA) policy on youth sport-related mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) to guide, inform, and increase awareness of implementation of this policy.

Relevance Of Pain Management Outcomes In Veterans, Cynthia A. Mccormack

Dissertations

Despite well-publicized guidelines, acute pain remains a significant problem for medical inpatients, including veterans. Registered nurse staff plays a key role in inpatient pain management: they assess pain, coordinate and administer pain medication and evaluate its effectiveness. The nursing shortage has prompted study of nurse staffing and nurse education as key structures in those outcomes defined as sensitive to nursing, including pain management. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which nurse staffing and nurse education predict five specific pain management outcomes. A cross-sectional design was used to examine the effects of nurse staffing defined as …

Middle Eastern And North African Immigrant Parents Caring For Obese Children: A Phenomenlogical Inquiry, Sadeg Aldolaim

Dissertations

Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health challenges of the 21st century in the United States and worldwide. Several studies show that children with migrant backgrounds are more likely to be at risk of becoming obese. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of physical diseases and cognitive academic deficits in children and adolescents. The Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) population is one of the fastest-growing immigrant population groups in the United States. However, there are no studies exploring parental involvement in childhood obesity prevention programs among the MENA immigrant population.

The purpose of this qualitative …

Interaction Networks Are Driven By Community-Responsive Phenotypes In A Chitin-Degrading Consortium Of Soil Microbes, Ryan Mcclure, Yuliya Farris, Robert Danczak, William Nelson, Hyun-Seob Song, Aimee Kessell, Sneha Couvillion, Christopher Henry, Janet K. Jansson, Kristen S. Hofmockel

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

Soil microorganisms provide key ecological functions that often rely on metabolic interactions between individual populations of the soil microbiome. To better understand these interactions and community processes, we used chitin, a major carbon and nitrogen source in soil, as a test substrate to investigate microbial interactions during its decomposition. Chitin was applied to a model soil consortium that we developed, “model soil consortium-2” (MSC-2), consisting of eight members of diverse phyla and including both chitin degraders and nondegraders. A multiomics approach revealed how MSC-2 community-level processes during chitin decomposition differ from monocultures of the constituent species. Emergent properties of both …

Editorial: C. Elegans Host-Microbiome Interactions: From Medical To Ecological And Evolutionary Model, Michael A. Herman, Javier E. Irazoqui, Buck S. Samuel, Nic Vega

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Microbiomes often form specific functional associations with their hosts. Correlations between microbiome membership and states of host health and disease abound in many systems. However, there are few systems that allow for in depth functional studies that include precise manipulation and interrogation of both microbiome composition and host function. Recently the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans - an excellent genetic model organism for studying many fields of biology, including neurobiology and behavior, development, cell biology, and innate immunity - has proven to be a robust system to probe microbiome interactions and their effect on host physiology.
